OZ MAGAZINE

Oz, a pioneering underground magazine, was closely linked with the countercultural movements of the 1960s. Initially published in Sydney in 1963, it later spawned a parallel version in London starting from 1967. The Australian edition continued until 1969, while the British counterpart persisted until 1973. With its avant-garde content and commitment to challenging societal norms, Oz played a significant role in shaping the alternative media landscape of its time.

A hippy himself, Hopper became the symbol of a generation after the success of Easy Rider. This snatched portrait of a dancing ‘flower child’ in a San Francisco park is one of a series he made during the so-called summer of love

[outstanding-quotes]

No doubt they all Got What Was Coming To Them. All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours, too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of the whole life-style he helped to create… a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody— or at least some force— is tending that Light at the end of the tunnel.

It's well known that at any good party worth its weight in LSD and mushrooms, you'd likely be amongst one of my alien kind. We enjoy warping space time with our consciousness and teaching the monkeys to do the same.
